Trick or Treat? Yes, Halloween is just around the corner to haunt you. So, beware and be inspired with Everything About Design!

While people are busy prepping for this festive occasion, different brands around the world are doing the same. How? Brands change their identities such as logo design, packaging, and marketing material to display their celebratory image during Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloween etc. The best example in this context is Google Doodle — its themed illustrations and multimedia attract users.

Why do brands spend so much time, money and effort in doing all this?

Consumers in Halloween

Around the world, emphasis is put on consumer psychology — a subject that is extensively researched upon. According to several studies, people are willing to spend more on special and universal celebrations that come once a year. It is suggested in a research titled HALLOWEEN AS A CONSUMPTION EXPERIENCE that “Examining cultural festivities as consumption phenomena can provide novel insights into consumer behavior…”

As per reports, total Halloween spending will top around $7 billion this year in the United States. An average American, as forecasted by National Retail Federation, will spend $74.34 on things like food, candies, decorations, gifts, and costumes etc.

Jeffrey Schwartz of Consolidated Credit Counseling Services in Canada said, “Halloween has quickly become one of the largest shopping seasons of the year, with individuals spending upwards of $60 just on their costumes.” Also, over 40% Canadians decorated their backyards in 2014 with Halloween items. On the other hand, product sales in UK are expected to grow by 4% to 5% this year.

This said, you may be wondering what’s in it for you.
